Fox News called, they want their argument back.
But seriously? HMOs are the true death panels, and only Universal healthcare can fix that. But you're probably against that too, because it would inconvenience you.
Name ONE way that under Obamacare. people having insurance will make the doctor see you in less time?
Isn't forcing an insurance carrier to cover you if you have pre-existing conditions the opposite of a death panel?edit on 7/2/2012 by Anonymous404 because: (no reason given)edit on 7/2/2012 by Anonymous404 because: (no reason given)

If you want to bring Tort Reform into this convo, fine by me. Tort reform is merely a corporate code word for getting rid of "frivilous lawsuits" and "Punitive Damages". remember the lady who spilled hot coffee on herself at McDonalds?
What you fail to realize is that the women needed skin transplants the coffee burned her so bad.
No, Mitt Romney has NEVER stated a specific plan for healthcare, only that he dislikes the new one. This is a bit like saying you dislike cheese burgers but refuse to give the drive through operator your actual order. All you keep saying is "no cheese burger".

YES.

It is sickening to me to read or hear people express disdain for universal healthcare. Why is helping people so abhorrent to you? Most of the civilized world has universal healthcare. We are one of the last holdouts. We shouldn't be. We are one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Its time to start acting like it. If you can afford healthcare, good for you. Here is a cookie. This is huge for people who can't afford it. It will give them the opportunity to have a healthy life. I read on this site everyday about the elite this and the elite that and how horrible "they" are. Your actions detail you as one of them. By attempting to deny your fellow human beings the chance at proper care your are setting yourself apart. Is that really your goal?

Obamacare is like forcing workers to buy from the company store whether they want to or not. The products offered may not be what we want or need, but we will have no choice but to buy them anyway. If you don't buy from the company store they will send out goons to threaten you and seize whatever material possessions you have. Maybe even throw you in the pokey.
The operators of the company store do not answer to you. You have little or no options if they treat you unfairly. Who are you going to complain to? Your congressman? LOL. Good luck with that.
The thing that gets me is that in this scenario, you are in it for life. I think the Obama administration must have taken some pointers from the Godfather... They made us an offer we couldn't refuse.

Actually the US imports more healthcare than it exports.

Doctors are jumping out. They lose money on MediCare patients.
Lets see now. Fewer doctors and socialists throwing 30 million more people
into the system. That translates into.....take a number just like the Canadians.
The Canadians found a quick fix. It's called Medical Tourism.
If they feel like they have an elephant sitting on their chest they don't want to wait.
They fly to Texas.

Texas capped it at $250,000.
The trial lawyers are making out like bandits.
